I am sure you know weak bones break more easily, and the older you get the worse any extended periods of inactivity are, on not just your present health and well being, but also your longevity.
So whether you are lifting free weights for the fun of it, using your body weight in a home scenario or engaging in daily activities you know are physically taxing, you should really be incorporating some form of strength training in your plans for longevity.
To that end, a large number of overseas trained and educated Chinese nationals have heeded the call and returned to China to establish start-ups in the semiconductor field, ranging from electronic design automation (EDA) software and IC design to silicon foundry and wafer processing equipment.
Many overseas trained and educated Chinese nationals have returned to China to establish start-ups in the semiconductor field, ranging from IC design to chipmaking tools. Here are 10 of them.
Don’t let the catchy name distract you, says Philip Ball: the questions inspired by this arguably misnamed phenomenon go to the heart of quantum theory.
“Power is essential to restoring wireless and wireline communications, and we are working with law enforcement to get access to our equipment and make needed repair,” the statement said. “There are serious logistical challenges to working in a disaster area and we will make measurable progress in the hours and days ahead.
We’re grateful for the work of law enforcement as they investigate this event while enabling us to restore service for our customers.
The outages were reported several hours after an explosion in downtown Nashville that took place near an AT&T facility.
Proof at the nexus of pure mathematics and algorithms puts ‘quantum weirdness’ on a whole new level.
Kernowite is a new mineral that has been found only in an old specimen collected at a single location in Cornwall, UK.
It became part of the Natural History Museum, London’s geological collections in 1964.
It’s the next step toward self-directed learning about the real world. Cue the shark music.

Light might have no mass, but it can still push things around. This is known as radiation pressure. Light particles (photons) carry a momentum with them, but how this momentum is transferred is not exactly clear. However, new research has come up with a way to actually study these interactions between light and matter.
An international team constructed a very special experiment to study the momentum of light. Photons carry a tiny momentum and their effect can only be studied cumulatively. Still, there were no devices sensitive enough to measure the effect. This is why it has been so difficult to study how radiation pressure is converted into force or movement.
As reported in Nature Communications, the team built a mirror fitted with acoustic sensors. They shot laser pulses at the mirror and studied the effects.
We can probably all agree that charging cables are just the worst, and that we’d love to have fewer of them in our lives. Now, a new invention might give us just that: engineers have developed a flexible device that harvests energy from Wi-Fi signals.
And not just harvest. It can then convert it into electricity that could be used to power devices, wire-and battery-free.
The device is what is known as a rectenna — a portmanteau of ‘rectifying antenna’ — which is a type of antenna that converts electromagnetic energy into direct current (DC).
Last week the Internet learned that “Anyone Can Quantum,” when actor Paul Rudd faced off against Stephen Hawking in a game of quantum chess. The 12-minute video has racked up more than 1.5 million views, with Fast Company declaring it one of the best ads of the week. And soon we’ll all be mastering the rules of the subatomic realm, with today’s launch of a Kickstarter campaign to create a commercial version of quantum chess.
